Interpretive Data
Background Information for MUTYH-Associated Polyposis (MUTYH) 2 Mutations:
Characteristics of MUTYH-Associated Polyposis (MAP): Development of colonic polyps (10-100) with the age of diagnosis occurring in the third decade or older.
Incidence: Less than 1 percent of colorectal cancer cases.
Inheritance: Autosomal recessive.
Penetrance: Greater than 99 percent in untreated individuals.
Cause: Pathogenic biallelic MUTYH gene mutations.
Clinical Sensitivity: 85 percent of MUTYH mutations in Caucasians.
Methodology: Targeted testing for the MUTYH gene mutations c.494A>G (Y165C) and c.1145G>A (G382D) by PCR and bidirectional sequencing.
Analytical Sensitivity and Specificity: 99 percent.
Limitations: Diagnostic errors can occur due to rare sequence variations. Mutations in the MUTYH gene, other than Y165C and G382D, are not evaluated.

Compliance Statement C: For human genetic inheritable conditions and mutations. This test was developed and its performance characteristics determined by ARUP Laboratories. The U. S. Food and Drug Administration has not approved or cleared this test; however, FDA clearance or approval is not currently required for clinical use. The results are not intended to be used as the sole means for clinical diagnosis or patient management decisions.
